At the age of 16 my father volunteered form his home in Stanley Co. N.C. for service in Confederate Army and was taken to Raleigh where he was enlisted, but assigned to navy where the first iron clad ship was under construction. A German ship builder was in control. Crossties were placed on the hull then some rails were placed on spikes. When being tested it ran on a sand bar and sank.
Then Father and Frank Allen, another Stanley boy exchanged with two infantry boys from Hyde co.
